BACKGROUND Field

Exemplary embodiments of the invention relate generally to a light emitting is element and, more specifically, to a wide color gamut light emitting element.

Discussion of the Background

Light emitting diode (LED) backlight units used in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) may generally be classified into an RGB LED chip type using red, green, and blue light emitting diode chips (RGB LED chips), and a phosphor type using blue light emitting diodes and phosphors. The RGB LED chip type typically has a higher color gamut than the phosphor type.

However, the RGB LED chip type has problems, such as lower reliability of the green light emitting diode or the red light emitting diode than the blue light emitting diode, and high manufacturing costs. Accordingly, most display manufacturers generally adopt the phosphor type.

In the phosphor type, phosphors emitting a yellowish green or yellow color through absorption of blue light as excitation light are deposited onto a blue light emitting diode chip to convert the wavelength of blue light. However, as shown in FIG. 1 , since a light emitting element of the phosphor type adopts luminance of yellow phosphors, such a light emitting element has low color gamut due to spectrum deficiency in green and red wavelength ranges of s light emitted therefrom.

On the other hand, broadcast content for LCD TVs is produced by a broadcasting station, in accordance with ITU-R BT.709 corresponding to the parameter values of the HDTV standard image format, and then is transmitted to individual TVs. As defined in ITU-R BT.709, reference RGB color coordinates are represented by R(x 0.64, y 0.33), G(x 0.3, y 0.6), and B(x 0.15, y 0.06) in the CIE xy coordinate system. In addition, the reference RGB color coordinates are represented by R(u′ 0.451, v′ 0.523), G(u′ 0.125, v′ 0.563), and B(u′ 0.175, v′ 0.158) in the CIE u′v′ coordinate system.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 2 , it can be seen that a color gamut of light emitted from a light emitting element adopting yellow phosphors is similar to the color gamut in is accordance with ITU-R BT.709.

However, a recent trend is directed to realizing colors having higher purity than the colors in the color gamut in accordance with ITU-R BT.709. Thus, various studies have been conducted to develop light emitting elements satisfying the Adobe or D-Cinema standard that define RGB coordinates having higher purity than the RGB coordinates of ITU-R BT.709.

The RGB coordinates in accordance with the Adobe standard are represented by

R(x 0.64, y 0.33), G(x 0.21, y 0.71), and B(x 0.15, y 0.06) in the CIE xy coordinate system, and by R(u′ 0.451, v′ 0.523), G(u′ 0.076, v′ 0.576), and B(u′ 0.175, v′ 0.158) in the CIE u′v′ coordinate system. In addition, the RGB coordinates in accordance with the D-Cinema standard are represented by R(x 0.68, y 0.32), G(x 0.265, y 0.690), and B(x 0.15, y 0.06) in the CIE xy coordinate system, and by R(u′ 0.496, v′ 0.526), G(u′ 0.099, v′ 0.578), and B(u′ 0.175, v′ 0.158) in the CIE u′v′ coordinate system.

FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 show the color gamut of light emitted from light emitting elements, to which yellow phosphors and the color coordinate systems of the Adobe and D-Cinema standards are applied, respectively. However, the light emitting element to which the yellow phosphors are applied fails to satisfy the color coordinates of the green region, as compared with the light emitting element of the Adobe standard, and fails to satisfy the color coordinates of the green region and the red region, as compared with the light emitting element of the D-cinema standard, thereby making it difficult to realize colors having high purity.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 5 is a schematic view of a light emitting element according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 5 , a light emitting element 100 according to an exemplary embodiment includes a housing 110, a first light emitting diode chip 122, a second light emitting diode chip 124, a green phosphor 132, and a red phosphor 134.

The housing 110 has a cavity 112 defined therein, which is opened at one side thereof. First and second leads may be formed inside the housing 110 and supply external power to the first and second light emitting diode chips 122 and 124 therethrough. The housing 110 may be formed to cover a portion of the first and second leads. The cavity 112 may have a vertical wall or an inclined wall having a predetermined inclination as needed.

The housing 110 may be formed of an opaque silicone resin including a mixture of a phenyl silicone resin and a methyl silicone resin, and may have a white color. The wall defining the cavity 112 of the housing 110 may include a reflective facet capable of reflecting light emitted from the first and second light emitting diode chips 122 and 124.

The first and second light emitting diode chips 122 and 124 are received in the cavity 112 of the housing 110 and electrically connected to the first and second leads formed inside the housing 110. The first and second light emitting diode chips 122 and 124 may be connected in parallel or in series to each other, and electrically connected to the first and second leads, respectively.

Light emitted from the first light emitting diode chip 122 may be near-ultraviolet light having a peak wavelength in the range of about 350 nm to about 420 nm, specifically about 360 nm to 410 nm. Light emitted from the second light emitting diode chip 124 may be blue light having a peak wavelength in the range of 430 nm to 470 nm, specifically about 440 nm to 460 nm.

Each of the first and second light emitting diode chips 122 and 124 includes an n-type semiconductor layer and a p-type semiconductor layer to generate light through recombination of electrons and holes. In addition, an active layer may be interposed between the n-type semiconductor layer and the p-type semiconductor layer. With this structure, the first and second light emitting diode chips 122 and 124 may be a horizontal type, vertical type, or flip-chip type light emitting diode chip.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the green phosphor 132 is formed to cover the first light emitting diode chip 122. The green phosphor 132 may be formed as a film and disposed on the first light emitting diode chip 122, or may be mixed with a transparent resin and deposited onto the first light emitting diode chip 122. Alternatively, the green phosphor 132 may be directly coated onto the first light emitting diode chip 122.

In one exemplary embodiment, the green phosphor 132 may be a BAM-based green phosphor. For example, the BAM-based green phosphor may be (Ba,Sr,Ca)MgAl₁₀O₁₇:Mn²⁺,Eu²⁺ or BaMgAl₁₀O₁₇:Mn²⁺. The green phosphor 132 is formed to cover the first light emitting diode chip 122 in the cavity 112 of the housing 110 and may convert wavelengths of near UV light emitted from the first light emitting diode chip 122 into green light. The green phosphor 132 may cover the second light emitting diode chip 124. However, since the green phosphor exhibits poor efficiency in converting wavelength of light emitted from the second light emitting diode chip 124, the green phosphor 132 may be separated from the second light emitting diode chip 124 in order to prevent light loss.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the red phosphor 134 may be formed to cover substantially the entire cavity 112 of the housing 110. Thus, the red phosphor 134 may be formed to directly contact the second light emitting diode chip 124, while covering the green phosphor 132 that covers the first light emitting diode chip 122. The red phosphor 134 may be a nitride or fluoride-based red phosphor. The nitride-based red phosphor may include at least one of phosphors represented by MSiN₂, MSiON₂, and M₂Si₅N₈, where M is one of Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn, Mg, and Eu. In addition, the fluoride-based red phosphor may be represented by A₂MF₆:Mn⁴⁺, where A is one of Li, Na, K, Ba, Rb, Cs, Mg, Ca, Se, and Zn, and M is one of Ti, Si, Zr, Sn, and Ge.

FIG. 6 is a graph depicting spectral distribution characteristics of light emitted from the light emitting element according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 6 , in the light emitting element 100 according to an exemplary embodiment, the green phosphor 132 is formed on the first light emitting diode chip 122, which emits light in the near UV wavelength range, and the red phosphor 134 is formed on the second light emitting diode chip 124, which emits blue light. Here, light in the near UV wavelength range emitted from the first light emitting diode chip 122, light in the blue wavelength range emitted from the second light emitting diode chip 123, green light emitted from the green phosphor 132, and red light emitted from the red phosphor 133 are observed. The BAM-based green phosphor according to the illustrated exemplary embodiment has a considerably narrow full width at half-maximum of about 30 nm or less.

FIG. 7 is a graph comparing a color gamut of light emitted from the light emitting element according to an exemplary embodiment with the color gamut of the HDTV standard. FIG. 8 is a graph comparing the color gamut of light emitted from the light emitting element 100 according to an exemplary embodiment with the color gamut of the Adobe standard. FIG. 9 is a graph comparing the color gamut of light emitted from the light emitting element 100 according to an exemplary embodiment with the color gamut of the D-Cinema standard.

The RGB coordinates with respect to light emitted from the light emitting element 100 according to the illustrated exemplary embodiment may be represented by R(x 0.677, y 0.3), G(x 0.151, y 0.737) and B(x 0.154, y 0.047) in the CIE xy coordinate system, and by R(u′ 0.516, v′ 0.515), G(u′ 0.052, v′ 0.575) and B(u′ 0.189, v′ 0.131) in the CIE u′v′ coordinate system. Here, the RGB coordinates of light, which is produced through combination of light components emitted from the light emitting elements, can be obtained using a color filter.

As shown in FIG. 7 , it can be seen that light emitted from the light emitting element 100 includes substantially an entire color gamut of the HDTV standard. In addition, it can be seen that light emitted from the light emitting element 100 includes substantially an entire color gamut of the Adobe standard, as shown in FIG. 8 , and that the light emitted from the light emitting element 100 includes substantially an entire color gamut of the D-Cinema standard, as shown in FIG. 9 . That is, the light emitting element 100 according to the illustrated exemplary embodiment including the first light emitting diode chip 122 emitting light in the near UV wavelength range, the BAM-based green phosphor, the second light emitting diode chip 124 emitting light in the blue wavelength range, and the nitride-based red phosphor or the fluoride-based red phosphor, realizes a color gamut having higher purity than the color gamut of the HDTV standard. Furthermore, the color gamut of light emitted from the light emitting element 100 according to the illustrated exemplary embodiment has higher purity than the color gamut of the Adobe standard or the D-Cinema standard.

As shown in Table 1, the light emitting element 100 according to the illustrated exemplary embodiment can realize a color gamut increased by about 30% or more compared to the color gamut of a conventional light emitting element.

FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B show light excitation spectra of a green phosphor and a red phosphor according to an exemplary embodiment, and FIG. 11 is a graph depicting a relationship between luminous intensity and wavelength of an excitation source for the green phosphor 132 according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B, it can be seen that the BAM-based green phosphor used for the light emitting element according to an exemplary embodiment exhibited efficient excitation at a wavelength of about 410 nm or less, and the fluoride-based red phosphor used for the light emitting element according to an exemplary embodiment exhibited efficient excitation at a wavelength of about 460 nm.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11 , it can be seen that the BAM-based green phosphor exhibited better efficient excitation with decreasing wavelength of light used as an excitation source. That is, it can be seen that the BAM-based green phosphor exhibited more efficient excitation when light emitted from light emitting diode chip has a peak wavelength of about 400 nm, as compared to the light emitted from the light emitting diode chip having a peak wavelength of about 450 nm. Accordingly, in the light emitting element according to an exemplary embodiment, the BAM-based green phosphor is applied to the first light emitting diode chip 122 emitting near UV light, instead of being applied to the light emitting diode chip emitting blue light, thereby further improving efficiency of the BAM-based green phosphor.

FIG. 12A and FIG. 12B are graphs comparing luminous intensity of light emitted from the light emitting element according to exemplary embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 12A and FIG. 12B, the light emitting element according to a exemplary embodiment has a structure, in which the BAM-based green phosphor is applied to the first light emitting diode chip 122 emitting near UV light and the fluoride-based red phosphor is applied to the second light emitting diode chip 124 emitting blue light.

Further, a light emitting element according to a third exemplary embodiment includes a structure, in which a SiAlON-based green phosphor is applied to a light emitting diode chip emitting blue light and a fluoride-based red phosphor is applied to another light emitting diode chip emitting blue light.

FIG. 12A is a graph depicting spectral distribution characteristics of the light emitting elements 100 of the first to third exemplary embodiments. As shown in FIG. 12A, it can be seen that the peak wavelength of green light emitted from the light emitting element 100 of the first exemplary embodiment had the smallest full width at half-maximum. In addition, from FIG. 12 b , it can be seen that the color gamut of the light emitting element of the first exemplary embodiment is closest to the color gamut of the NTSC standard.

Detailed description of substantially the same components described above will be omitted to avoid redundancy.

The housing 210 has two cavities 212 and 214 defined therein, each of which is opened at one side thereof.
